I first found this recipe on Cara's cravings and bookmarked it for later. A few weeks later I found it again - this time on Le Petit Pierogi. Pierogi had made some changes to it and I liked her ideas so I used most of them when I made this myself.
It was impossible to find ground turkey so I figured I would use ground chicken instead. Well, my store were sold out of the ground chicken and I just didn't have the time to go to another store so I ended up using ground beef instead. It worked fine though I will try to find chicken next time. The burgers and the cilantro lime aioli got two thumbs up from the man and I had to promise him I would make them again soon. I'm thinking some yam fries to accompany would be great...
Ingredients:
8 oz (230 g) ground turkey
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 large scallion, minced
1/4 tsp vegetable oil (I like to cook with coconut oil)
1/4 tsp red curry paste
2 Tbs peanut butter
freshly ground salt & pepper
½ tsp ground ginger (or fresh)
2 cloves garlic, minced (I forgot this)
1 small bunch cilantro, minced
juice of 1/4 to 1/2 a lime
Cilantro Lime aioli
hamburger buns of your choice
mixed greens or any other vegetable you like
Combine all the ingredients for the burgers in a bowl. Blend thoroughly. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Form two patties and cook for about 7-10 minutes per side, until cooked through. Serve on buns with cilantro lime aioli and some greens (I forgot to buy greens so all we had were some ginger fried mushrooms).
